Hey, it was just a try.

Personally, I am not interested in the feature _you_ asked for, but I thought it might be pretty easy for you to rewrite git-clone.sh to take advantage of git-fetch and git-remote, and that your desired feature would be easier to add then. So easy that the whole thing would have taken you all of an hour or so.

But maybe somebody else is interested enough to scratch your itch.

Ciao, Dscho
